#imaginaryfriends
I awoke that morning in an empty bed No sign you'd been here - might as well have been dead I reached for my cell and dialed your number Yet all that was there was white noise to cease slumber I pressed my face into the pillow where your head once rested And yet your scent had already faded As I sat up and looked around I saw nothing Nothing but cobwebs and faded photographs of my young self playing. Where have you gone to now? Wait... nevermind, you never existed anyhow.

Cobwebs
*Feathered head and weathered dreads, no one comes out to play with me and my imaginary friends, I promise were lots of fun, we are we are, I promise oh please, come out and play with me, were waiting to see, we wait to see your fears, and all your uncaught unsafe dreams, fall right apart, oh it'll be a blast, it'll be sweet, this nightmare dream is totally neat! don't be shy, come eat a slice of america's mini apple pie, but you're not allowed one bite, until you come outside with me and my imaginary friends! we can fake our deaths, and rob our neighbors cars for cigarettes. and if we see they don't have any left, we will just borrow the money instead! so why won't you come outside with me and my imaginary friends? but first, fly yourself on out the front door. so we can destroy the world. just you, me and my imaginary friends.*

Living
Through his own abstraction he creates the tunnels They bear the harassment as well For that is a thing that haunts. His friends. they tower over the noise For all the lust in their eyes they must not lay a finger For pain Is no game And he sees that to the truest extent. Through broken bones he has suffered And not a false word he has muttered now tell me. who has won?

**** them with your kindness
There was many a time I just sat in the corner of that old quiet room. I loved it there Just locked up away from the impurities of the world Playing with the shadows and the imaginary friends of my ever so free creativity Not knowing that they would soon become my worst enemy That they would corrupt my mind and expose me to what I was hiding from for so long I did not dare question it though for the fact that I feared of delving ever more into the darkness After years that old room turned into the pigs sty of a *********** thirteen year old..who was me... Always getting yelled at by his mother for wanting to be male and not his biological gender Always getting hit for being pansexual and falling in love with everyone Always on his phone and computer Sending out many corrupting things and plotting many horrid deaths But never to pursue his nightmarish dreams Of blood and clowns and killers and laughter The blank faces and blood red shadows staring at him through the mirror Always hearing a blank whisper saying his name His twisted thoughts now playing games Making him...aka me...seem more insane. Years from this present time He...or me...will be alone in an apartment Almost broke and in college Trying to fulfill whatever far fetched dream I managed to dream up But I won't still be okay. I will be more alone then ever before Allowing the dreadful shadows and imaginary friends that haunted my childhood to come back and corrupt me again With no one to help me Or hear me scream

The shadows of my childhood
